“However we still need to speak with any witnesses.

“In particular, we are wanting to speak with those who were in the area between the skate park and the back of the bus station.”

Police were contacted with reports of a man indecently exposing himself in this area of the town.

He was said to be sitting on a bench – then later walked along the footpath towards the playground on Riverside View.

“Following the reports, officers attended the scene and a man was arrested and remains in police custody at this time,” the spokesperson said.

“An incident of this nature can have a big impact on anyone who witnessed it and we would urge those who did, not only to speak with officers, but if they feel they need to, seek help for a number of specialist agencies – details of which can be found on our website.”
